If Polk had had his way, last night would've never happened.

Let's go back in time to 2008. MSU hired COhen to replace Polk. Let's face it, MSU baseball in the 2000's was mediocre. However, Polk through a huge fit over hiring Cohen instead of his boy, Tommy Raffo. Raffo consistently has losing records at.... Arkansas State.
MSU said ok Ron, sorry you feel that way but we're going with COhen. COhen restored the program to respectability and went to Omaha. The rest is history.

I concur. I didn't initially like the Cohen as AD hire but it seems to be working out. Just took him a bit to figure somethings out now we need to get basketball rolling. Not sure if that will happen tho. Just not a basketball town.

This man brought Mississippi State a national championship.

You do know a lot about what went on at MSU for an LSU guy.
He did want Raffo no doubt. I think most of that was out of loyalty. He seemed to like Chris Lemonis though. But yeah, Cohen took MSU to that Natty series with UCLA in 2013 and despite people bitching about the way Cohen was building, I understood it perfectly and Cohen was right.
I’m just glad Polk and Cohen are good friends now. There was a little riff between them a little while.
This is a really fun interview with Ron Polk being interviewed by none other than John Cohen. Polk talks about his long friendship with Skip Bertman , Cape Cod league etc

You wouldn't hire the best bus driver in the city to design new buses. Why would you let a baseball coach pick the next baseball coach?
